We invite you to ask your questions regarding anything you’re planning to do and one of our experts may answer it in our Ask the Expert section of HOMES+

Bennett provide our readers with maintenance tips before the weather changes yet again. I too have followed his guidelines and finally bought myself a 30 foot dryer cleaner for safety sake and so I don’t have to dry my clothes twice anymore (I hope).

Even with the structure of routines, there’s always time for fun! In this issue, we worked with the folks at Oktoberfest to bring our readers a comprehensive guide of events happening in our region. We are so excited to attend the festivities and we hope you are as well.

Til next time, wishing you the magic of autumn and beyond!

Pumpkin Croissant Bread Pudding

By Dana Shortt

with Caramel Sauce

Are you interested in serving something other than (or perhaps in addition to) a classic pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving? Try my pumpkin croissant bread pudding with caramel sauce – guaranteed to make you and your guests swoon!

Traditionally, bread pudding was an economical way to serve dessert – an easy means to use leftover bread that would otherwise be thrown away. Torn or cubed bread is soaked in a sweetened egg mixture, accompaniments are added and then it is all baked in an oven. Typically, bread pudding recipes call for white bread but I love using croissants or egg bread for their richness and sweet flavour.

Directions

Ingredients

Bread Pudding

1 cup milk (skim, 1%, 2% or whole milk –whatever is on hand)

1 cup 35% heavy cream

1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 cup (packed) brown sugar

2 large eggs

1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

1

Preheat oven to 350° F. 2 3 4 5 6 7

Whisk the milk, heavy cream, pumpkin, dark brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and vanilla extract in large bowl to blend. Fold in croissant cubes. Stir in golden raisins.

Transfer mixture to 11” x 7” glass baking dish. Let stand 15 minutes. Bake pumpkin bread pudding until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare caramel sauce:

Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until it is melted.

Add brown sugar and whisk in cream and brandy and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes. Add ¼ cup brandy for a “tipsy” caramel sauce.

Serve pudding warm with caramel sauce drizzled overtop (and whipped cream, if desired!)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

10 cups ½-inch cubes of croissants (about 10 ounces)

½ cup golden raisins (can omit or replace with chopped crystallized ginger, if desired)

Caramel Sauce

1¼ cups (packed) dark brown sugar

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

½ cup whipping cream

¼ cup brandy

FALL MAINTENANCE TIPS

from Damon Bennett

As the seasons transition, it's essential to prepare your home for the arrival of autumn with its falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and impending winter storms. Addressing a few maintenance tasks now can help you avoid problems later in the season, allowing you to fully relish the joys of autumn without concerns. While most of the tasks outlined below are manageable for the typical homeowner, if you prefer, you can opt to hire a professional to handle them, which can prove to be a worthwhile investment. By taking preventative measures, you'll ultimately save money in the long term, as it can prevent costly and potentially hazardous damage to your home. Explore our autumn home maintenance checklist and gain valuable insights on maintaining your gutters, roofs, fireplaces, and more.

PERFORM A ROOF INSPECTION AND REPAIR LOOSE SHINGLES.

Check your roof to ensure your shingles are intact and firmly in place. Loose shingles provide space for water to seep under your roof, moisture can cause rot, mold, and leaks, leading to much bigger problems down the road.

TURN OFF EXTERIOR FAUCETS.

Turn off all exterior faucets and drain water from outdoor pipes, valves and sprinkler heads to prevent pipe bursts. If your home is 10 years or older, consider installing frost-proof faucets. If your house doesn't have a water shut-off you can purchase a styrofoam cover from any hardware store, which will help protect it from the wind and prevent freezing.

INSTALL HEATING CABLES.

Roof heating cables will help you avoid long-term damage caused by freezing and ice build-up. Before installing the cables make sure your eavestroughs and roof have been cleaned thoroughly. Affix roof cable clips to your roof in a zigzag pattern. Finally, attach and secure your heating cable to the clips.

SEAL GAPS AND CRACKS IN CAULKING.

Sealing the gaps and cracks around your windows and doors is essential to keeping your home warm and using less energy in the winter. Any gaps between your siding and window or door frames should have caulking applied to them. Use your finger (a great trick is to keep a cup of water beside you and dip your finger in to moisten it before smoothing your seal) or a wet caulk-smoothing tool within 2 to 5 minutes of application to smooth your caulk seal.

CLEAN GUTTERS AND ADD GUTTER GUARDS.

Clean gutters allow water to easily flow down from your rooftops and away from your home, preventing damage to your foundation and ice buildup on your roof. Ice damming can damage your shingles and allow moisture into you attic, compromising your insulation and building envelope. Installing gutter guards is an easy and economical way to prevent a buildup of leaves and other debris in your gutters, making winter prep next year that much faster.

WINDOW AND DOOR WEATHER STRIPPING.

Weather stripping your windows and doors is another great way to keep the cold out. To find out where weather stripping is needed, run your hand along your door seam or window casing and feel for drafts, and if you can see daylight anywhere, you definetly need some weather stripping. Door sweeps and adhesive backed insulation foam are easy to install and are very effective draft deterrents.

BOOK AN HVAC MAINTENANCE APPOINMENT.

Regular maintenance of your HVAC unit can improve performance, increase the life of your unit and save you money. Some common signs of required maintenance include leaking around the outside unit, inconsistent temperatures or if your system constantly turns on and off.

TOP UP YOUR ATTIC INSULATION.

If too much heat escapes through your attic, it can cause snow on your roof to repeatedly melt and refreeze, creating a thick ice dam that can cause serious damage. The solution is to top up your attic insulation. Start by measuring the depth of your insulation, if the levels are less than 4 inches your attic needs to be topped up. Bags of loose insulation can be purchased from most big box home improvement stores. Be sure to wear proper PPE when working with insulation: mask, safety glasses, gloves, long sleeve shirt, and long pants. INSPECT YOUR FOUNDATION FOR CRACKS.

Your foundation is an important component of your building envelope and needs to be maintained to prevent water from getting into your basement. Cracks above grade can often be repaired with products like Rhino Carbon Fibre (https://www. rhinocarbonfiber.com/epoxy-polyurethane-concrete-repair).. " ") Cracks below grade, in an unfinished basement, can often be repaired from the interior.

CHECK YOUR GRADING AROUND YOUR FOUNDATION

Make sure that your grading slopes away from your foundation, to keep water flowing away from the home.

CHANGE YOUR FURNACE FILTER.

Replace the furnace filter monthly to ensure efficiency and keep dust particles from penetrating the clean, heated air. Inspect your furnace for leaks and test for carbon monoxide. If your furnace is older, cracks can form and cause deadly poisonous gas to escape into your home. It is also recommended you invest in carbon monoxide detectors to monitor the air in your home. To keep your home nice and toasty and to help curb high electric bills, install a smart thermostat. Keep your heat settings lower while you are asleep and program it to raise just before you wake.

CHANGE YOUR SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR BATTERIES. A great habit to get into is to change your batteries every time we change our clocks (daylight savings), every spring and fall.

CLEAN LAUNDRY/DRYER DUCTS.

Dryer lint built up in the duct behind the machine not only reduces the efficiency of your dryer but can also cause fires in the home -- and should be inspected regularly. If you notice that there is a buildup, be sure to clean it or hire a professional to do the job for you. Also make sure your exterior vent has screening to prevent any critter from nesting inside.

A BATHROOM FOR ANY HOME OASIS by Jo Alcorn

THE BONES – For this space my biggest challenge was figuring out the door situation. With two doors opening into the space, it blocked a lot of the room for clearance, making that space unusable. The first order of business was to swap out the existing doors for pocket doors.

I think by now most people know I love WHITE. For this space I started it off by using Super White PM-1, which I find to be the purist white from Benjamin Moore, to set the stage for my spa like reno

THE BEAUTY – There is nothing like an amazing tub in a bathroom to set the mood. I sourced the most beautiful freestanding tub, matte black sleek faucets and easy to install glass shower from Bath Depot; it was a one stop shop for all the bathroom must haves. I also love that they are a Canadian company as I love to support local. I really wanted to add a floating sink and faucet off to the side, which I was also able to find. And you can not forget about the toilet, the main functionality in any bathroom, and an eyesore most days; however, I went with a thin, sleek profile that faded into the design and allowed everything else to stand out, a true unsung hero.

When it comes to vanities, I prefer more counter space than sink space. The space allowed me to add a long vanity, which gave me more working space and storage. I put two vanities together for a custom feel, creating both the look I wanted and fitting the space perfectly. I established separation of the zones by adding two mirrors instead of one.

I have said this before and I will say it again…when it comes to countertops, forgo a DIY and turn to the professionals. I went with Chantilly from HanStone Quartz , a modern classic with feathery charcoal veins set against a crispy white background. Once the counters were chosen, I worked with Stone Edge who measured, templated, and installed this gorgeous countertop for the custom look I wanted to create, spanning both the vanities to create one long, seamless countertop and then adding a fourinch backsplash to match.

Tiles are a big part of a bathroom design concept and can truly set the mood. I knew I wanted something masculine with drama, yet elegant at the same time. M2 Tile & Stone had the perfect bold marble-inspired porcelain tile, the New Arabescato Series, that I used throughout. I went with the 24” x 48” large-format tile for the walls and used the 4” x 24” size to create a modern herringbone look on the floor and complete the dramatic yet serene effect.

THE BLING – For the final touches, and to create the spa feel I was going for, I partnered with Bed Bath and Beyond to find everything I need to create my at-home spa bathroom. I installed three of the globe sconces from Bed Bath and Beyond to be placed between the mirrors for ideal lighting. I also found this STUNNING ceiling light to hang over the tub in the most perfect hues of black and gold – it is a showstopper in this space. I chose white blinds to further compliment the space. Finally, I outfitted the room with fluffy white towels that further create the spa look and feel.

All together, the elements in this space create a luxurious, spa feel without ever having to leave home.

EMBRACE WARMTH AND DEPTH IN YOUR HOME FALL PAINTING COLOUR TRENDS

As the fall season approaches, it's the perfect time to consider updating the colours in your home to reflect the warmth and coziness that comes with this time of year. Fall painting colour trends have shifted towards embracing richer hues and deeper tones, drawing inspiration from the natural colours of autumn foliage. Here are a few key fall colour trends and how they can transform your living space into a cozy retreat.

I. The Core Colour: Green Green continues to be a staple colour for fall, and for a good reason. This versatile colour can create a harmonious backdrop in any room, evoking a sense of balance and tranquility. Whether you choose a soft sage green or a deep hunter green, incorporating green into your home this fall will add a touch of natural elegance.

Nature-Inspired Palettes

One of the main influences for fall painting colour trends is nature itself. The vibrant colours of autumn foliage, such as rich oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows, inspired interior designers to bring these hues indoors. By incorporating these natural colours into your home, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects the beauty of the changing season.

Embracing Deeper Tones

In addition to nature-inspired palettes, fall colour trends also focus on embracing deeper tones. Colours such as deep reds, rich purples, and dark browns create a comforting and inviting atmosphere in your home. These deeper tones have psychological effects as well, as they promote a sense of relaxation, intimacy, and coziness.

Here are a few key fall colour trends, from Sico Paints, and how they can transform your living space into a cozy retreat.

Cubist Red (6037-85): This bold shade of red expresses richness and depth. It can create a focal point in any room and add a touch of drama and sophistication.

Mollusk (6193-73): With its warm undertones, Mollusk offers a sophisticated ambiance. This neutral shade pairs well with other fall colours, creating a balanced and inviting space.

Evergreen Forest (6167-73): This timeless green hue evokes a connection to nature. It adds a sense of tranquility and freshness to your home, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms and living areas.

Purple Suspense (6045-83): This mysterious shade of purple adds a touch of luxury and drama to any room. Use it as an accent colour to create a statement and showcase your unique style.

In conclusion, embracing Fall colours can transform your living space into a cozy retreat that reflects the warmth and depth of the season. By incorporating green as a core colour, drawing inspiration from nature, and embracing deeper tones, you can create an inviting atmosphere that promotes relaxation and comfort. Seek professional advice or explore paint options to bring these fall trends to life and create a space that you'll love to spend time in during the upcoming season.

UNLOCK THE CREAMY DELIGHT OF A BUTTER TART IN EVERY SIP OF THIS EXQUISITE CREAM LIQUOR!

Trina Stewart

Forty Creek Distillery has once again demonstrated its commitment to crafting exceptional spirits for whisky lovers across Canada with the introduction of Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream Liquor. This delectable spirit has already earned a welldeserved Silver Medal from the esteemed 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, solidifying its place on the long list of award-winning products from Forty Creek.

The creation of Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream was inspired by the immense success of the Forty Creek Nanaimo Bar Cream, which was launched in 2020 and captivated the hearts of Canadians. Building upon this recognition, Master Blender Bill Ashburn is excited to unveil yet another spirit that pays homage to a beloved Canadian dessert - the iconic butter tart. This artisanal creation is meant to evoke fond memories for consumers nationwide, celebrating a shared cultural heritage.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream combines velvety-smooth, fresh dairy cream with the bold and flavor-packed Forty Creek whisky. The result is a harmonious blend of tastes that unfold on the palate, reminiscent of freshly baked brown sugar and cream. Indulging in this exceptional spirit is like treating yourself to a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with each sip captivating your senses.

Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream offers versatility in how it can be enjoyed. Whether you prefer to savor it neat or on the rocks, the rich and indulgent flavors remain

To celebrate its latest launch and honour Canada’s signature dessert, Forty Creek is excited to introduce a limited-edition merchandise collection in collaboration with sustainable apparel brand, Kotn Supply. The collection comprises a range of limitededition sweatshirts not only inspired by the iconic butter tart but also designed for creating lasting memories at home, accompanied by a glass of Forty Creek Cream.

The Forty Creek x Kotn collection is also now available on fortycreekwhisky.com (Shop Gifts ) and at the distillery in Grimsby! Let us know if you'd like any additional information on this front as well.

In Ontario, Forty Creek Butter Tart Cream is available for purchase at LCBO, the Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby, and online at Home , retailing at a price of $32.75*. As the summer unfolds and transitions into fall, this exceptional cream liquor will gradually become available across other provinces, allowing whisky enthusiasts nationwide to savor its unique flavors and experience the nostalgia it evokes.

*Please note that prices are subject to change.
